Hey friends!
I rarely post on the weekends (a girl’s gotta rest!), but I just got my nails ‘did’ and I just HAD to share them with you!
Did these myself! WELL– I mean I didn’t go to a salon. I painted them brown and then got a little (a lot) of help from my friend Stefani at Long Changed. She makes and sells amazing vinyl overlays for nails so she came by and put them on for me!
Seriously super simple to apply; paint a base coat in the color of your choice, when the color is dry, add the vinyls, file the excess off, put a clear coat on top. Let dry. Call it a day:)
I like the brown underneath, since I’m gearing up for fall, but you can certainly get creative and mix and match colors, and different designs.
They seem to be pretty resiliant too, which is great for a mom/homemaker/crafter/diy project addict such as myself :)
Have you treated yourself to a mani lately?
Stefani Long says
I LOVE your nails! I will come over any time and do them for you :)
Barbara Hiatt says

Great idea to use the vinyl on your nails! Looks so nice for a fall touch.
Barbara Hiatt says
Thanks Kimberly!
Lisa says
So cute! Love this idea! Did the vinyls stay on for awhile?
Barbara Hiatt says
Thank you! Yes they lasted a week, and then I worked on a project using my orbital sander and there went my mani! I think they would’ve held out a couple more days though!
Bethany Lee says
These look great!

Thanks so much Bethany!

Jelli says
How pretty! These nails totally match your sidebar…in a different color. I’ve been wanting to try the vinyl nails fad, but haven’t yet. Thanks for sharing your pretty mani. Found you from Lil Luna this morning. Have a splendid day, Barbara.

Thank you Jelli! Give them a try I think you’ll be a fan!
